The spoons I’m packing tomorrow. Primarily a float fisherman but I do enjoy tossing spoons every so often. I’ve never caught a salmon or steelhead on a spoon in freshwater, but I do try every time I’m on the water and the current isn’t agreeable with float fishing.
There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.
